[Found on MT-Plugins.org]

As requested, I'll give a little more info. Promise you won't laugh. I have a Vin Diesel fan blog. The "misc." picture category was getting out of hand – so I wanted to paginate it so that all misc. photos wouldn't load up on the one page (there's ALOT of them… ok, you promised you wouldn't laugh!!) ;o)

First – to install the plugin – you need to upload it into your plugins folder (in your MT folder)

Here's what the main content on that template looks like (the MTPaginate tags are in bold)

<p align="center">| <a href="<$MTBlogURL$>">Main</a> |</p>
<h1 align="center">~~ <$MTArchiveCategory$> ~~</h1>
<MTPaginate>
<!–The next part is what generates the "page navigation" –>
<MTPaginateIfMultiplePages>
<p><$MTPaginateNavigator style="links" format="%d" $></p>
</MTPaginateIfMultiplePages>
<!– This part determines how many posts will go on the page, I set it to 10 –>
<MTPaginateContent max_sections="10">

<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryTrackbackData$>
<MTDateHeader>
<h1><$MTEntryDate format="%x"$></h1>
</MTDateHeader>
<div class="blogbody">
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<p><b><$MTEntryTitle$></b></p>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntryIfExtended>
<$MTEntryMore$>
</MTEntryIfExtended>
<p>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%X"$></a>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTEntryIfAllowPings>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTTrackbackScript$>?__mode=view&entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenTrackback(this.href); return false">TrackBack</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>
</p>
<$MTPaginateSectionBreak$>
</MTEntries>
</MTPaginateContent>
</MTPaginate>

A little more explanation of the page navigation tag:
<$MTPaginateNavigator style="links" format="%d" $>
There can be other values for "style" and "format". I have mine set to "links" because I wanted text links, instead of a pop-up menu. Format is how the text links are structred. I just wanted the numbers, but if you wanted it to display like: "Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3.. etc." the value of format would have been "Page %d"

From what I could tell from the documentation, there are many other ways to use this. For example, if you have very long posts, you could paginate the content of a specific post (or at least that's what it looked like. I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure)
